BETWEEN IMAGE AND SPACE
16.05. – 30.06.2026
BEHNCKE GALLERY is pleased to present its debut at VO with Between Image and Space, in cooperation with SEXAUER, Berlin. Dietlinde Behncke founded her gallery on January 31st, 2023 and establishes a gallery program featuring national and international artists, whose work continue to shape global conversations in contemporary art or art historical traditions. SEXAUER was founded by Jan-Philipp Sexauer in 2013, and represents international emerging and established artists of a younger generation.
Luisa Baldhuber, Ornella Fieres, Alexander Iskin and Louis Wessendorff explore the interplay between image and space. Baldhuber’s wall objects, made of glass and digital paintings, open up imaginary landscapes; Fieres’ work with artificial intelligence explores the AI´s perception of space; Iskin’s painted spaces make the unconscious visible; and Wessendorff’s paintings reveal spaces that bridge reality and dream – together offering a shared investigation of how image and space interact.
ARTIST TALK: ANDREA LISSONI & LUISA BALDHUBER

Free entry
Registration required at: behncke@behncke-gallery.com
Andrea Lissoni (artistic director of Haus der Kunst, Munich) has initiated a site-specific commission series for the staff entrance in 2021 with the intention to support young artists from the region during the pandemic, as well as to provide the team with an uplifting moment upon entering and leaving the building during challenging times. It continues as specific support structure for local emerging artists since.
The building becomes a stage for their choreographies, and through interventions in it, the transformation into a new interconnect living organism continues. The large-scale light installation “Afterglow“ by (then) Munich Academy student Luisa Baldhuber (class of Prof. Kogler) opened in February 2024.
Luisa Baldhuber has now completed her degree and has been accepted as a scholarship holder at PS61 Studios in Munich for 2025/2026.
How has the complex practice of this artist developed further, and in which subsequent works has Luisa Baldhuber unfolded since February 2024?
The artist talk between the curator and the artist in the exhibition “No talking for seven days” with Luisa Baldhuber and Robert Elfgen will provide more insights.
